Abstract: Soft structured materials—e.g., silicone-based elastomer, capable of programmable morphologies and mechanical strength—are promising for high-performance structure construction in metamaterials and soft robots. However, once prototyped, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–based silicone elastomer is limited in mechanical strength and… read more here.
